Haley Smalls is a Toronto-born R&B singer-songwriter and self-taught recording engineer whose music lives at the intersection of nostalgic R&B, touches of hip-hop, subtle synthwave, and traces of Caribbean — shaped equally by classical vocal training and an uncompromising sense of artistic identity. Raised in Toronto by a Bajan father and European-Canadian motherk, Haley was recognized as a prodigy early: her parents enrolled her in vocal lessons after a neighbor heard her singing and alerted them to her gift, and she was recording in professional studios by the time she was twelve.
